Why lie? You've already posted your views on Jews. You're outed.

 

And again - people who use the term Zionists, instead of Israelis, usually have issues with Israel's very existence.

 

It is rather amazing that with all the posts here you still don't get it that 'Zionists' does not reference only Netanyahu, Israel's right wing elements and so on.

 

And while it's cool you pretend to know what Netanyahu thinks, I kinda doubt that you actually have a clue or that you can meaningfully explain yourself.

 

Talk about claptrap....

The question, I believe, was what should Israel have done in response to 7/10.

It shouldn't be looked at as an isolated "incident" for lack of a better word for this atrocity. I understand why some choose to look at it that way, but a solution should come from the entire issue.

Yet that's exactly why this war started, Oct/7th. To get to that solution, Hamas and its infrastructure needs to be finished and all hostages returned.

Point 1: Tell someone who gives a toss on what you think my views on Jews are.

 

Point 2: Zionists are not true Jews, they are oppressors 

 

Point 3: Netanyahu is a right-wing Zionist leader who will eventually end up in prison either in Israel for his crimes committed in Israel or before the ICC for his crimes committed in Gaza. https://www.icj-cij.org/sites/default/files/case-related/192/192-20231229-pre-01-00-en.pdf

US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin has said he urged Israel to protect civilians in Gaza and make the war there more "surgical".

Mr Austin, who spoke after a meeting with his Israeli counterpart in Tel Aviv, reiterated US support for the offensive against Hamas.

He said Washington would provide more arms, vehicles and munitions to Israel...

Mr Austin then said he had discussed the objectives of the military campaign and "how to reduce harm to civilians in the battlespace" with his Israeli counterpart Yoav Gallant

"We also have some great thoughts about how to transition from high intensity operations to a lower intensity and more surgical operations," he said.

There have been reports that the top three Hamas leaders live in Quatar in immense luxury with a wealth of 11 billion dollars. Perhaps they should be the main targets.

Austin is urging more surgical strikes in the transition to a ground campaign. He did not give a timeline.

 

This has always been Israel’s plan from the start. Nothing new here.

You may think you know what Zionists are but your truth is fiction.

 

Nowadays, the word Zionist is often used as a swearword. As a negative label. Many Palestinians and supporters of the Palestinian cause no longer distinguish between the words 'Jew', 'Israeli' and 'Zionist'. That is not correct. Most Jews do not live in Israel. Not every inhabitant of Israel is Jewish; there are also many non-Jews living in Israel. And not all Jewish Israelis are 'settlers' who want to conquer more and more Palestinian land. The vast majority of Jews believe that the State of Israel should continue to exist. But many Jews, both living in Israel and elsewhere, are in favour of a Palestinian state alongside Israel as a possible solution to the conflict. To cut a long story short: although many Jews identify with Zionism, there are still many different points of view. That is reason enough not to mix up the words 'Jew', 'Israelis' and 'Zionists'.

So whether it's a week, a month, or a year makes no difference?

Makes a huge difference to the military strategy of any force, air strikes are always carried out first for a reason. That’s why Austin specifically stated that he was not dictating a timeline or terms.

Why not? The question is not about what Israel could have done decades ago. It's about the here and now. There were comment made that this could have been handled in other ways - without specifying what these may have been. The question was not about an all encompassing, comprehensive solution, but rather regarding matters at hand.

Your views about Jews are public for some time now. I was just pointing out that lie about not having issues with them.

 

Zionists can most certainly be Jews. You do not get to decide who are 'true Jews' and who aren't. That's about as ignorant a comment as I've seen on these topics.

 

I hope Netanyahu does end up behind bars, but that's not really what the previous posts were about - so just another deflection from you.

Hence the revenge war that will not be able to achieve the goal of eliminating Hamas.

Again - there was a comment Israel could have handled things differently with regard to this situation. Not the conflict as a whole. This comment was not expanded on and left as a one liner. You are not answering that question, nor are you commenting on what I posted.

You really think the Israëliets will back down? Since 1948 nothing but troubles and wars.

You do not decide who are 'proper Jews'.

And yes, it's a tough competition - these topics usually bring out some of the 'best' minds.

I have not deflected - that's just you using a new word that you do not understand, obviously.

Dunno what that PDF file is, not curious enough to open. Try a proper link, maybe.
